Taking It Easy

On Monday the doctor told me I need to start taking it easy after I informed him I was starting to not feel so well. He joked with the husband that more dinner and movie dates would be helpful.

It is now Thursday and I thought to myself, how am I supposed to be more lazy? I don’t do a ton of strenuous activities and am not sure how else to slack, considering that I have already cut back significantly. The dishwasher was ran on Saturday and wasn’t unload until Tuesday! TUESDAY! I couldn’t take the dishes in the sink any longer, things still have to get done. The gym membership has gone down the toilet, so that’s not happening. Last night I made dinner, and realized that I used to make dinner at least 4 nights a week. Currently, dinner might be made one night a week. I used to grocery shop and make my lunches at least Monday-Thursday, now I buy lunch every day. These are all corners that have already been cut. How else can one be lazy?

I have a desk job, while stressful at times, it is still a great work environment and I love it. I have no other kids that I need to care for, just the hubs and I. After work, I go home and watch TV and sleep at least 7 hours each night (if I don’t wake up to pee which is now every night).

SO, I am not sure how much more I can take it easy? Any suggestions are welcome 🙂
